Results from a longitudinal experiment to curb drug use during junior high indicate that education programs based on a social-influence model can prevent or reduce young adolescents' use of cigarettes and marijuana. This multi-site experiment involved the entire seventh-grade cohort of 30 junior high schools drawn from eight urban, suburban, and rural communities in California and Oregon. Implemented between 1984 and 1986, the curriculum's impact was assessed at 3-, 12-, and 15-month follow-ups. The program, which had positive results for both low- and high-risk students, was equally successful in schools with high and low minority enrollment. However, the program did not help previously confirmed smokers and its effects on adolescent drinking were short-lived.
一项旨在遏制初中阶段吸毒现象的纵向实验结果表明，基于社会影响模型的教育项目能够预防或减少青少年对香烟和大麻的使用。这项多地点实验涵盖了从加利福尼亚州和俄勒冈州的八个城市、郊区和农村社区抽取的30所初中的整个七年级学生群体。该课程于1984年至1986年实施，并在3个月、12个月和15个月的随访中评估了其影响。该项目对低风险和高风险学生均产生了积极效果，在少数族裔入学率高和低的学校中同样成功。然而，该项目对之前已确认的吸烟者没有帮助，且其对青少年饮酒的影响是短暂的。
